Our day began at Questacon and straight away I was a bit annoyed at the parking system. It is paid parking which I guess is expected in a capital city but the trouble is trying to guess how long you will need. Not knowing how big or how good the place is it could be 1 hour or 5 hours. We managed to squeeze everything there into 3 hours but a bit more time would be ideal. Canberra Glassworks was next and it was an interesting to watch an artist in action. In...

We have a busy next 3 days in Canberra with lots to see and do. We started at the Mint. Only coins are produced here and the notes are printed in Melbourne.

We got there early as it is first in first served and can get booked out. Last weekend cars were lined up on the road. Lucky for us there was only one other group an hour before opening and about 6 mor...
